EDITOR KEYSTONE: A report is going the
rounds of the papers, emanating from the
Boise Statesman. to the effect that Judge
Mathew, president of the territorial legisla-
tive council. was heard to make some CON
temptuous alusion To the late Senator Lo-
gan of Illinois. saying substantially that
that eminent soldier and statesman ought
To have died twenty years ago. Even 81
digniiied journal as the Salt Lake Tribune
has seen fit to devote some of its editorial
space To the matter in "A view implying a
belief in the truth of the report. Judge
Mathews many friends have rallied To his
defense, and some. notably, Judge VIM. III
Clagett, his competitor last fall Tor the cleo
ton To the council, in the columns OF the

the report as unfounded. entitled To no cree
dence and an unwarranted reflection upon
good and upright man.

my voice ia Judge Mayhem defense. My

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue
stamps from Proprietary Medicines,
no doubt has largely benefited the
consumers, az well as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with
Green's August Flower and Bos-
chee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the
size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine i'm the 10 cent size.
The August Flower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the Ger
man Syrup for Cough and Lung
troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size OF
the bottles will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles, for ~
cent sremain the same size.

gentlemen propose giving, in a
short time, an amateur dramatic
performance at Metropolitan hall.
The charming drama of the "Two

following ladies and gentlemen will
assist in the performance: Mrs.
Nellie Williams, Mrs. VIM. Green
how, Miss Lille Pinkham, and
Messrs. L. w. Gillette, George
Mills, Prof. Griswold, DR.. Lewis
and Geo. J. Lewis. The ladies and
gentlemen are actively engaged in
rehearsal, and the performance
promises to be an artistic success,
while financially it is sure to be,
as all attending the church realize
how much more agreeable it would
be if good, comfortable seats were
provided in place of the rickety
benches now used. Hardly any
one who attends the services al
Union Church will begrudge the
price of ticket, as the expenditure

The little town of Vienna, up in
the SawtoOth range of mountains,
now lying half buried in snow, fur
nishes a striking example of what
determination can accomplish when
strengthened by Cupid's mystic
power, and the impediments that
may beovercome when once the res
olution is taken to bring to happy
contamination the desire of two
loving hearts and a realization of
the touching little couplet whis-
pered into the ear of wild Ingomcr
by Parthenia:
1.-TWO souls with but single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one"
There recently arrived from that
now almost deserted mountain
town ID. w. Kelley and Miss Birdie
Smith, on their way to Pocatello,
there to be united in Hymen's silken
bonds, and their ante-bridal tour
will always be trip to be remem-
bered. The snow lay to the depth
of eight to ten feet and no mode
of conveyance was obtainablc to
make the desired trip; not even a
trail to guide traveller over the
road to the borders of civilization.
But nothing daunted the young
couple proved equal to the emer-
gency, and were not long devising
a plan of travel. Snow-shoes were
brought into requisition, and the
morning sun next day shone out
upon the path of the two venture
some spirits as they gaily skirted
along over the unbroken field of
glittering snow, dragging behind
them a toboggan on which were Sc
curely dashed their trunks and
bundles of other little indispensa-
bic effects necessary to the trip.
The journey was safely made to
Boulder station, where fortunately
sleigh was met and the rest of the
trip made in that conveyance.
Nightfall found the couple safe un-
der the hospitable shelter of the
Baxter Hotel, and the next day
they boarded the train for Pocatello.

Idaho Democrat, Feb. 20.
c. w. Moore and Joe Oldham
had quiet laugh over a phara-
graph in the HALEY Times which
represented them as having had a
quarrel over the division question.
No such scene occurred between
them.
The legislature has changed the
age of exemption from poll taxes
from fifty to sixty years. That
might have been done in Difference
to the lustiness of the old boys In
Idaho, who are able-bodied men as
long as they live, and speaks well
for our climate. But it will strain
the old liars, that jump of ten years
will. The fellow who last spring
had passed fifty just enough to es-
cape, and had held that age for
years, will the coming spring be
compelled to get in some fine work
to stand off the poll tax man.

There were two badly disap-
pointed young men i'll town last
Tuesday night. Both had made
extensive preparations to attend
the masquerade ball at HALEY on
that night, costumes were secured,
rooms at the hotel engaged and
nothing wanted but the train to
take them to the scene of reyelry
and mirth gathered to do honor to
the natal day of the Father of his
Country. The train was late, and
finally reported derailed near Belle
vue and waiting for a snow pillow to
clear the track. Determined to get
there at all events, they procured a
sleigh and unmindful Of a dark
night and fearful roads started for
HALEY. Two miles of the trip was
enough and just then one of them
imagined he heard the putting OF
the engine drawing the delayed
train. Back to town they returned
hastened to the depot only to learn
that there was no prospect for q
train and the putting heard was
from the snow pillow at work. After
waiting until after midnight it was
given up as a hopeless case and the
disappointed young men went home
disguised with the disastrous re.
suit of their fond expectations.

part were frequently applauded.

rendered by the choir, always
good, was exceptionally so on this
occasion. The children had their
parts perfectly. George Easley's
story of"Alladin and his Lamp" was
given in language characteristic
of George. The stereoptican views
we'll explained by Halbert Gillette
were pronounced by all as being
of the best but owing to INSULT

children Miss Josie Perkins sold
